About Us

Many new services are borne out of necessity following an event or entering a new stage in life. For us at WatchOvers it was having both young kids and elderly relatives needing additional support – realised that we could not be in several places at the same time, with young kids always on the go and the worry of our ageing parents having a mishap, we needed to know that all were safe.

An elderly relative, who wore an SOS alarm pendant around their neck, unfortunately had a fall while outside their home but the SOS pendant only worked in the house. It was quite unnerving for her as she could not reach for her mobile phone in her bag. With a higher risk of falling outside the home such as when visiting the shops, we knew there had to be a better solution and we took on the task.

Coming from technical and product based backgrounds we searched for a service to allow us to provide our kids with a little more freedom to be kids without turning us into nervous wrecks. Dads and how they dote on their little girls is as true today as it ever was.

The kids were keen to have a mobile phone but we felt they were still a little too young although we wanted to be able to contact them or for them to be able to contact us if they needed to. We all wanted the same thing – freedom with peace of mind.

From our First watch Launch to Improved Devices

More than 1 year on and many blind alleys later, we located a product which looked great and had all the features we were looking for in August 2014. 9 months of work later we had to make the hard decision that this product would not do all that we wanted to do and had to start the process again to get a manufacturer who could build to our specifications.

With almost 2 years of experience, expertise and industry contacts, and armed with the knowledge of the exact specifications of what we needed from our manufacturers, we located and partnered with a company specialising in GPS tracking devices for many years.

They were in the process of developing stand-alone Watch-Phones with all the features we were looking for. That was February 2015. Following another 8 months of development and testing and re-testing, the Liberty Watch-Phone was ready to launch in October 2015.

We at WatchOvers are proud of our Liberty Watch-Phone, and the benefits it gives to us, our families and hopefully to many more people. We look forward to introducing more products in the future which will help make life a little easier.

From the Liberty we launched the Assure watch in May 2017, another leap forward with it’s many improved features. We continue to develop so that we can bring you more innovative devices.
